Time of India3 days ago
Actor Ajay Chaudhary, known for his versatility and screen presence, is all set to enter Udne Ki Aasha, produced by Rahul Kumar Tewary. The show, currently one of the most talked-about series on Indian television, will now feature Chaudhary in a pivotal role that dives deep into the lead character's past.
'This is exactly the kind of work I want to do, and I was fully prepared for it,' says Ajay, speaking about the opportunity. 'I'm genuinely excited and feel incredibly fortunate for the kind of roles I'm getting—and more importantly, for the faith people are showing in me.'
Ajay will be seen as Ranjit, a character intricately tied to the childhood of Sachin (played by Kanwar Dhillon). 'There's a proper backstory being explored here, which is being revealed for the first time on the show.
This track will dive into who Ranjit is, how he's connected to Sachin's early years, and what exactly happened in that phase of his life,' he explains.
The actor shares a long-standing association with producer Rahul Tewary. 'This is my second show with him. We had worked together on Phulwa years ago and I also did a cameo in Ram Bhavan. He's like an elder brother to me. Whenever he offers me something, he makes sure it's meaningful.
He's always had faith in me as an actor.'
On preparing for the role, especially with its local dialect, Ajay says, 'I'm really working on the Tapori lingo. I've been watching videos, meeting people, and learning from Kanwar, who's already doing a great job. I'm putting in a lot of effort to get it right.'
With his entry, Udne Ki Aasha is set to take a new narrative turn, exploring layers of Sachin's past through the eyes of Ranjit. Fans can expect drama, emotion, and strong performances in the episodes ahead.

"I had not seen her for a very long time, and then I saw her on a video call, where the lawyers spoke to us. That's it, no message or anything after that. Before the divorce, we weren't on talking terms for six to seven months. We would talk only if there was something very important; otherwise, nothing. It was like that for a while, but after the T20 World Cup, it started properly," said Chahal on Raj Shamani 's YouTube channel. When asked who started the talks of divoce between the two.

I tried my best." The divorce case of Chahal and Dhanashree grabbed headlines with scrutiny into both of their lives and the spinner spoke openly about his mental health struggles during the phase. Chahal made it clear that he never cheated on Dhanashree despite many rumours about him. He also said that they kept their separation a secret from the world till their divorce was finalised. "It was going on for a long while. We decided we do not want to show the people. Who knew if it did not happen. Maybe, it will become a different scenario. We were like until we reached to a point of end, we are not going to say anything. We will be like a normal couple on social media," Chahal said.

Prasidh Krishna On What Made Joe Root Angry: 'I Just Said, You Are Looking...'

Last Updated: Prasidh Krishna has revealed what he told Joe Root that led to their fiery on-field spat. Indian fast-bowler Prasidh Krishna has revealed he told England's Joe Root that he was 'looking in great shape' during the fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which led to 'a lot of abuse' and an ugly on-field spat between the two. Prasidh was slammed on social media for riling up someone with as clean an image as Root, but according to the Karnataka man, even he didn't expect 'such a big reaction'. The incident happened soon after Root came to the crease in the second innings of the Test. His face turned red after the conversation, and he hit a few boundaries against Prasidh, who responded with a couple of bouncers in anger. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena didn't take long to involve himself in it, following Prasidh like a hawk from thereon. He was heard having chats with KL Rahul and captain Shubman Gill, who didn't seem pleased with being asked to control the verbal attacks. 'I don't know why Rooty [reacted]," Prasidh told the BBC's Test Match Special. 'I just said, 'You're looking in great shape,' and then it turned into a lot of abuse and all of that. Later, at the press conference, Prasidh was asked if the plan was to distract the Englishman. 'That was the plan, but I didn't expect the couple of words I said to get such a big reaction from him," Prasidh said. Prasidh also conceded that Root was a legend of the game. 'That's just who I am when I'm bowling, when I'm enjoying. If it means that I have a bit of a chatter with the batter… and it does help me when I can get under the nerves of the batsman and get a reaction from them. But I love the guy that he is. He is a legend of the game and I think it is great when two people are out there wanting to do the best and be a winner at a given moment," he added. Eventually, Root got out LBW to Mohammed Siraj. England folded for 247, only 23 runs ahead of the visitors, and the third essay yielded 75/2 led by Yashasvi Jaiswal's fifty before Stumps.
